Yes, that's the reason. From what I can tell a sub-0 score (and thus low contrast) would be one reason why Chrome would shrink the text. But that's fine. The real killer is the heuristic that heavily shrinks divs that only contain a couple of sentences of text. Annoying on HN. Even worse on some other sites, where useless help text gets blown up to a huge size, while the login controls are shrunk to near-invisibility. The tab switching is completely reliable on a Nexus 4. It used to be almost impossible to get to work on a Nexus S. My issue with it is that tab switching is simply not an important operation on a mobile browser, and having it completely take over the most valuable real estate (the edges) of a phone is silly. The proper Android browser had an option to get these incredibly convenient quick controls from the edges, which could be used also for operations like accessing bookmarks or reloading the page.
